Hi guys. Recently i have replaced my two a panels, drivers side front wing and rubbed down some rust bubbles on the front panel. Does anyone have any idea how much it will cost for me to get it resprayed/blended/touched up? Whatever you want to call it! The other wing and the most part of the front panel wouldnt need spraying. Price guides? All grinding down and filler to the rust bubbles would be done ourselves. (Price including bonnet due to been faded) thanks a lot.

About £250 plus materials at about £100 (2 pack)

Depends where you go and what sort of standard you require, I can't see anyone doing a full front end for less than £500

Easily over £250 for labour!!! If they charged £35/hour that is just over 7 hours work in which you wouldn't get the filler work, masking, priming, flatting, any re-masking, painting, flat and polishing done sadly. I do it professionally and it's expensive because to do a proper job is very time consuming.

 

For an accurate price it is well worth getting a valuation from at least 3 bodyshops and look at their completed work before committing too to make sure you are happy.

Depends how good a job you want doing. Had paint done on the cheap once, and won't be making that mistake again. I'd have though £400-£500 would be nearer the mark.

whatever...you guys are being sucked in somewhere!

No I think we're wrong Sam, turns out every paint finish is the same. Looks like I've being imagining things when it comes to paint finish...
